Rank 8 / Rank 9 Recast?

You mean once it is recast? Or they are just bumping up the stats on rank 8?

After recast it moslty of the R8 weapons has better attacks than the vana ones, also you need the TT99-Lunar and 100-250Raptures to manufacture those, so R8 goes more cheaper.

If you reacst the R8 weapon the stats will change like happens when recast vana weapons.

if the rep sales where not here, THEN nirvy would be cheaper to get.

it is good couse, good gear is farmable for most classes, and you can recast it to make all stats fit your style and build.

new doors are opening, sucks for my nirvy armor set but, still its good for other players and i am happy for the non aps peaple, this is a great chance for them

can the rank 9 daggers get -int on it?

Only differences between the new rank 9 and the old rank 9 weapons are a bump up in base attack and an extra 10 attack levels.

Oh great, there goes any chance for those of us who dont want to be rank ****** to gear up. Already half way to my nirvana glaive..oh well i guess i'll still make it and if my alts ever get to 100 they can use it, even though by that time r12 will be out and anything that didnt cost 1000+ gold will be useless

God dammit, and I just +10 my nirvana dagger, oh well will see how many ppl can get int on r8 b:surrender

They won't need interval to blow your Nirvana Barrier Thorns out of the water. 2.86 aps base Rank 8 with either GoF or 25 attack levels would do the job nicely. Probably even run competition with G15 Dark Death Thorns too (if you manage to get the interval plus GoF). And of course you'll only be spending a fraction of the money compared to Nirvana dags.

How does R8 Recasted Optimally compare to R9?

Just wondering if I should continue merchanting for R9.

R8 daggers probably still wouldn't out damage Rank 9 since the latter is apparently getting a boost in damage also. But really... who in their right mind is going to spend 800+ gold for their Rank 9 when you can have 5 aps base PLUS God of Frenzy for a fraction of the cost... particularly with the spark chi-gain nerf also along the way (which will affect those with low aps the most) ?

the same type of ppl that post in the "no rank 9 for EG" thread and are threatening to quit the game if they dont get rank 9 next patch, thats who.

there will always be someone who wants to be the very best they can be at this game purely to satisfy there ego.

I like how everyone posting here is just assuming that this will actually be implemented in PWI.

If they are going to make nirvana obsolete and tt Then how are they goig to act like it is a free to play game?
Just another stab at farmers and free to play

Btw- so what do you do when a rank 9 +12 all psychic with god of frenzy on thier weapon come roling your way?

Well, why wouldn't it? Nirvana did, R9 did, fixing cancel casting glitch did, new Delta (been known for a while) did. It's a major change to the game content and those have, as far as I can remember, always been implemented here after.

We still don't have faction base PvP nor can the monuments be leveled as high as the CN version. FC is actually closed in CN but not here. The instance will be in an upcoming patch, but it doesn't mean you'll actually be able to enter it. At the very least, the mats will be difficult to get since you need several people in the faction farming for one person and they'll also probably be in a new pack like Nirvana mats. Don't expect the farming/cashshopping balance to change much just because of this.

im guessing the thoughts that
1) the r8 armor you get from NPCs wont be any different than it is now
2) the mats required to recast r8 into whatever new thing is coming out is in all likelyhood going to cost somewhere between 2nd cast nirvana and r9. 2nd cast nirvana pants will likely remain the optimal pants, since you can combine with helmet for 5 attack levels.
3)to even gain access to these materials, your faction will be forced to buy a base
hasnt crossed anyone's mind.
ring engraving is probably a test of the rank reforging system.

PWI isnt about to open up a new set of endgame gear for free.

Yes, the new guild base dungeon is not going to be a walk in the park. They allow 100 players in there for a reason. Oh, and you can only activate it three times per week. Rank 8 is easy to get here, new rank 8 won't be so easy.

Let's try this again.

How does R8 Archer Recasted Optimally compare to R9 Archer?

Just wondering if I should continue merchanting for R9 Archer.

The basic attack for the new Rank 8 bow is:

physical attack: 1249-2293

Then you can recast and get four of the following: (sorry, I don't know the names of some of these in English)

These you can only get once (list 1):
attack level 10 - 25
defense level 10 -25
critical attack 3% - 6%
十方八阵
requirement -25%
碎灵池
轰雷破

These you can have multiples (list 2):
dex +8 - 20
str +8 -20
vit +8 - 20
attack level 1 -5
def level 1 - 5
HP 120 - 300
chi 200 - 400
accuracy 10% - 50%
crit 1% - 2%
phy def. 150 -450
mag def. 150 -450
phy damage red. 1 - 5%
mag damge red. 1 - 5%
interval -0.05

The basic attack for the new Rank 9 bow is:

1282-2381

Plus you get 40 atk levl, 10-11 dex, interval -0.10, 205 hp and 碎灵池

The best attack level you can get from recasting the new rank 8 would be 40 as well: 25 from list 1 and 5 three times from list 2. But then you don't get the extra dex, interval, HP and 碎灵池 that come with the new rank 9 bow.

The new rank 9 is still better for archers?

Damn.. looks like an r8 interval GoF dagger is way better than r9 dagger if chi gain during spark is nerfed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. I wasted so much gold on r9 dags + 11 noooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoooOOoOOO

Oh! And on a side note! Watch pwi come out with all this and still not give us EG r9 b:chuckle
